RyanC Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 When installing Windowsw Vista beta two, it copies the files, gives the grey loading bar, I then get the background picture before a BSOD "Machine Check Exception" about 5 seconds later.I have tried both 64 and 32 bit versions, upgrading from windows XP (Does everything ok in windows but when it restarts and gets to the same place as booting from the dvd).I'm tried removing everything possible attached to the computer and removing\disabling internal devices but with no change.Any ideas?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you overclocking your processor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 fizban2: 2gb of ram and a 7800GTRJARRRPCGP: I had initially tested it overclocked (The processor is fully stable in the multitude of tests you can do) before trying it both under and normal clocked with the same results.
